The short answer

Yes, it’s worth buying if your desk is 27 in deep or more. Get the Ergotron WorkFit-TX for its big worksurface, with room for two monitors whether you sit or stand.

How deep does your desk need to be?

The TX’s worksurface is 27 in front to back, deeper than the WorkFit-T’s or the WorkFit-TL’s. That’s a real plus on a deep desk, with room for two monitors, or a monitor and a laptop, without crowding.

The tray goes as low as 3.5 in below the desktop and has 3 in of travel of its own.

Ergotron rates the TX for a desk as shallow as 24 in, the same as the WorkFit-T and the TL, and it simply sits on top, with nothing to clamp. Its worksurface is still 27 in deep, so on a 24 in desk the front 3 in hang past the edge. On a desk 27 in deep or more, the whole worksurface stays on the desk.

How high does it go?

From its lowest setting to its highest, the keyboard tray moves 20 in. Your screens rise 17 in along with it, and the tray has 3 in more of its own, so your screens and your keyboard don’t have to move as one.

The tray tilts back, too, and at its lowest it sits 3.5 in below your desktop. That’s a big plus when you sit, since it brings the keyboard down closer to your lap.

It folds down low and goes straight up

The TX rises on an X-shaped lift, and at rest it folds down to within 2 in of your desk. If you sit most of the day and stand in bursts, that low resting height keeps your screens close to where they’d be on the desk itself.

It travels straight up and down with no sway, and its solid metal build keeps it from tipping. In a corner, where the desk can hem you in on two sides, a platform that rises straight stays out of your space.

How long is the warranty?

It’s five years, the same as on the WorkFit-T and the TL. The TX also carries two sustainability certifications, and if you care how your office gear gets made, that’s a nice bonus.

Who it fits

Buy it if your desk is 27 in deep or more, you want the platform to fold away when you sit, and you’d like your keyboard to adjust apart from your screens.

Skip it if your desk is only 24 in deep and you’d rather the front of the worksurface didn’t hang over the edge. The shallower converters are a better fit there.

What is wrong with it

Drawbacks

The worksurface is deeper than the shallowest desk it fits. On a 24 in desk, the front of it hangs over the edge, so it’s happiest on a deeper one.
